Chapter 19 Fake Drama Really Done Bandits Attack the City
"Ah......h
"Ah......h
Carrot smiled embarrassedly: "I drank two more glasses last night, and I had a little headache, isn't it nothing." ”
"What do you mean by nothing, aren't there more than 30,000 bandits outside this city?"
"Hahaha...... Captain, don't be kidding, where do those bandits dare to ...... Dare...... Damn, bandits, so many bandits!" shouted Carrot, pointing out of the city.
The captain looked in the direction pointed by Carrot and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and tens of thousands of bandits rushed towards the city gate with great momentum, and the captain immediately ordered: "Close the city gate!
"Click, click, click, bang!" The huge city gate was quickly slammed shut, and the city was in chaos, and the residents near the city gate ran to their homes crying and shouting.
The bandits came to the city gate without hurrying, looking at the city guards on the city wall as if they were facing a great enemy, and the siege equipment such as trebuchets, carts, ladders and wells built by the bandits were also pushed out, although the number was not much, but it caused huge psychological pressure on the city guards.
The acting lord of the city, Rob Starlen Vladimir Soban, is the younger brother of the patriarch of the Soban family, the Soban family is also one of the six kiths of the United Kingdom of Higra, the Soban family has a long history, longer than the history of the United Kingdom of Higra, and the patriarch Yuri Starlen Vladimir Soban is the commander of the third legion of the Higra Kingdom with 100,000 soldiers, and now he is leading the third legion on the border against the Vigel Empire, and the affairs of the city are handed over to Rob.
Rob came to the city with the sheriff, the leader of the city guards, and looked at the black and oppressive heads below, and his heart was full of anger, when can the commoners challenge the authority of the nobles? But now there are only two thousand city guards in the city of Soban, if they come hard, it is likely that things will go in the worst direction, and then find out the intentions of these bandits, Rob, who has made up his mind, called his adjutant and asked him to go down and negotiate with the bandits, and ask what the bandits want to do.
The adjutant sat down in a basket and went down to the outside of the city wall with the expression of a dead father, took out a white handkerchief and waved it, and walked towards the bandits step by step, and only came back after a long while, and reported to Rob: "My lord, those bandits said that they are fighting against evil necromancers, lack of food and herbs, and bounties from righteous warriors, and want to borrow a little from you, my lord." ”
"Bah! Rob was scolded by the bandits' shameless demands that he didn't even have the demeanor of a nobleman, and he had also heard that a strange necromancer had recently appeared on the border, who was looking for trouble with the bandits, robbing them of their gold and belongings, but not exterminating the bandits, and only laying down his arms and surrendering could save his life, and he did no harm to villages and towns or passers-by.
The nobles are very curious about this necromancer, this style of necromancer can be regarded as the only one in the mainland, if it is not an identity necromancer, it can be called a hero, sweep away the bandits, and the other autumns have not committed any crimes, and the nobles are also happy to see it, and they are also blind to the existence of this necromancer.
However, he did not expect that because of the threat of the necromancer, the bandits would form an alliance, and they did not expect that these bandits would actually come to Soban City to blackmail themselves with a siege posture.
Rob angrily asked the adjutant, "How much grain and gold do they want?"
"One hundred tons of grain and fifty thousand gold coins. ”
"Bastard! you go and tell them, don't even think about it, a ton of grain and a thousand gold coins want them to get out!"
"Ah, it's me again?" said the adjutant aggrievedly, pointing to his nose.
"It's not you, is it still me going!"
"Yes. There was no way, so the adjutant had to go down to the city wall with a sad face again and run out of the city wall to bargain with the bandits.
After a while, the adjutant ran under the city wall and didn't come up, and shouted directly below: "My lord, they don't agree, but they can be less, this time they want seventy tons of grain and forty thousand gold coins!"
Rob also leaned on the city wall and shouted to the adjutant, "No! only give them ten tons of grain and five thousand gold coins!"
The adjutant ran to the bandits, and then ran back to report, and the two sides could not get along, and the thieves demanded fifty tons of grain and thirty thousand gold coins, but Rob was only willing to give fifteen tons of grain and fifteen thousand gold coins.
"it!" Smith was furious: "These nobles are really stingy!
Green rolled his eyes and said, "Alliance Leader, why don't we send our brothers a little forward to scare them with a siege about to attack the city, otherwise those nobles won't give us anything." ”
"Well, scare them, brothers! Show your momentum and scare the timid nobles!"
"Oh......!"
More than 30,000 bandits began to move, and the siege equipment that had been placed in the back was also pushed to the front.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Rob immediately ordered the city guards to prepare for battle, and five hundred archers took arrows, pulled strings, and aimed at the bandits under the city, just waiting for the commander's order.
The bandits under the city were also preparing trebuchets, using a winch to pull down the catapult rod and load the stone projectile, adjusting the orientation, and the scene was very tense.
Green quietly made a gesture to one of his men, who immediately disappeared into the crowd and appeared in the ranks of the trebuchets, pretending to convey the orders of the bandit leader.
"Look at it, don't really shoot the stones out of the coffin, just scare them, don't spoil the big things of the leaders!" Green's men walked past one trebuchet after another, and suddenly he seemed to step on something, and his body fell backwards into a bandit who controlled the trebuchet, this thief was in control of the launch, his body was hit, he was crooked, he lost his balance, and the lever in his hand to control the launch was also pulled.
"Hoo......" A large stone bullet flew towards the city wall, "Boom!" Four unlucky city guards were killed by the stone bullet.
"Arrows, arrows!" Rob thought that the bandits were impatient and had really launched a siege, so he immediately gave the order to attack.
500 long arrows shot down a lot of bandits at once, the bandits were not very good-tempered, seeing that they were attacked, and the bows and arrows immediately returned fire, and the bandits who controlled the trebuchet also fired all the stone bullets, and when the bandit leaders reacted, the two sides were already in a mess, and they couldn't stop it.
"What should I do?" Smith and most of the bandit leaders panicked, they didn't even think about actually attacking the city, so they all looked at Green, in their minds Green had a lot of ideas.
Green said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "Everyone, now that things are like this, anyway, we have offended those nobles, it is better to do a fake show, break through Soban City, and get him a hand, if we withdraw like this, we will not get anything, but we will still attract the revenge of the nobles, don't you want to sleep with those noble ladies and ladies in your arms?"
"It's done!"
"I agree!"
"That's right, even if it's death! I have to sleep with the nobles' ladies and ladies in my arms!"
"Okay, everybody!"
The bandits, who had been cornered, finally made up their minds to attack the city of Soban.
However, it is one thing to make up one's mind, and it is another thing to take action, although the bandits are outnumbered, but they are fighting separately, and there are few siege equipment, they do not know how to cooperate with each other, and they do not know how to protect themselves, the battle is fought from morning to noon, and several charges launched are repulsed, and they also suffer heavy losses, and their morale is greatly reduced.
One of the bandit deputy alliance leaders looked at his demoralized subordinates and asked Green, "What now, the brothers don't want to attack the city anymore!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have been observing the battle situation, and the main reason why we are not attacking the city is because we are fighting separately, and we cannot take the city wall if we cannot work together, and if the brothers can trust me and am willing to obey my command, I guarantee that the brothers will spend the night in the city!" said Green, patting his chest.
"This ...... Okay!" The bandit leaders only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
"Okay, in that case, let's cook by fire, let our subordinates rest and eat something first, and then integrate, and then prepare for the siege at two o'clock in the afternoon!"
"Good!"
The bandits retreated, and the city guards of the city wall were also seizing the time to replenish supplies, although they repelled the attack of the bandits, but the city guards were too few after all, nearly half of the two thousand people were killed and wounded in one morning, and the last was Rob who ordered to find some mercenaries and adventurers from the city to send them to the city wall to replenish a little troops, and most of the materials for defending the city were also consumed.
In the afternoon, after lunch, the bandits began to work together, all those with bows and arrows were grouped together, those with shields or iron armor were taken as vanguards, and hundreds of vindictive bandits were gathered together to prepare for the decisive siege.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With Green's order, more than 4,000 bandits pulled their bows and arrows together, although it was still not very neat, but it was much better than in the morning, and the sudden rain of arrows killed and injured many city guards.
"Keep going, don't stop! The vanguard begins to attack the city!" More than 10,000 bandits, armed with shields or wearing iron armor, pushed the ladder in three waves towards the city wall.
The defenders at the head of the city were suppressed by bows and arrows and could not fight back, so they could only wait for the bandits to approach the city wall, and it was not long before the bandits approached the city wall, and the city guards risked being shot by bows and arrows, raised stones the size of a basketball, leaned out and threw stones at the bandits below the city wall.
Many of the thieves who had been hit by the stones fell screaming, but more thieves climbed up the ladder and up the city wall step by step.
As soon as a bandit showed his head on the city wall, he was stabbed by two spears and fell down without saying a word, and another bandit climbed up, and as soon as he cut down a city guard with a sword, he was cut into pieces, but the third bandit, the fourth bandit, and more and more bandits climbed up from all over the city wall and occupied some of the city walls and advanced to both sides, and the city guards, who were too small in number, immediately felt great pressure.
At this time, all the mercenaries and adventurers in the city came, they climbed the city wall and slashed the bandits with the city guards, the arrival of this new force greatly relieved the pressure of the city guards, especially the adventurers are all warriors with fighting spirit, the lethality is huge, and soon the bandits on the city head were swept away, and the attack was repulsed.
"Damn! just a little, just a little! these hateful mercenaries and adventurers, when they break through the walls, they must be killed!" Smith shouted angrily.
"Change people again, this time not only will the fighting leader be on the road, but we will also be on it, otherwise those adventurers will have no one to deal with, and another time will definitely be able to capture the city wall!" Green also said with his eyes on fire, looking at the adventurers on the city wall and gritting his teeth.
Soon the bandits replaced the exhausted bandits of less than 10,000 with more than 10,000 bandits, and all the bandit leaders except Green also stood on the front line with long swords.
Green shouted to the more than 10,000 new bandits: "Ten bounties for the first attack on the wall, twenty bounties for killing an adventurer, and one noble woman for killing the sheriff!"
"Oh ......!" the thieves' morale was boosted by the gold coins and the woman.
"Attack!"
"Kill!" the outlaws bandits, shields and swords in hand, pressed against the falling stones at the head of the city.
Because of the addition of a large number of vindictive bandits and bandit leaders, this time they quickly climbed the city wall, and under the leadership of the powerful bandit leader, the bandits killed and injured a lot of city guards, mercenaries and adventurers, and more and more city walls were occupied by bandits.
Rob was anxious to see that the city wall was about to be breached, once the city wall was broken, then the city was not far away, he drew his long sword and wanted to join the battle, at this time a white lightning shot from a distance, hitting a bandit, and then from one to two, two to four, continuously hitting more than two hundred bandits and killing them, this is the fourth-level magic chain lightning of the qi system.
Immediately after that, the overwhelming bone arrows shot out from the back of the resting bandits, and killed a lot of bandits, this sudden change frightened a lot of people, the bandits and city guards, mercenaries, and adventurers all looked in the direction where the lightning came, nearly three thousand skeleton soldiers lined up in a neat formation with swords, shields and spears to kill the bandits, behind them were more than a thousand bow and arrow skeletons that continued to shoot bone arrows, and the most behind them was Ouyang Yu, who was like the Demon King of the World.
Ouyang Yu finally appeared at the most critical time.
